Wordshark 5 for Windows NETWORK

The installation of a Wordshark 5 network requires local admin rights to the server. The 4-stage process and links to MSIs are included in the installation & migration instructions below, which are identical for both Wordshark and Numbershark.


Installation & migration instructions (Windows & CC4):

Licence:

Your whole-site Network Licence is for “Concurrent Users” NOT “number of clients”. You are permitted to deploy the program to every client computer on your network, and it may be used by all staff and students. The licence will indicate the maximum number of “Concurrent Users” allowed.

Overview:
  • ACTIVATION will validate installation of the program on a single server
  • The program can be deployed to every client on a single network
  • The program limits concurrent use to the number shown on the licence
  • Thin client / VPN access permitted
  • The licence MUST first be DEACTIVATED if you intend to rename/rebuild the host server, or migrate to a new server
  • A full licence does not expire, however, reactivation may not be possible after 5 years from the initial purchase date

4-stage install process:

  1. Create a folder & download self-extracting MSIs from the links provided. Run the MSI that creates a data folder wordshark-shared which holds user and licence data, and a further MSI that installs the program files onto your server.
  2.  Install a White Space Network Manager program which works with a linked service to manage licence activation and diagnostics, then activate the licence.
  3. Deploy the program to wireless & frequently used client machines. Optionally, create desktop or start menu shortcut icons for remaining client machines.
  4. Set up initial user accounts, test, document, and brief end users
